In Urbino I ate raw steak marinated in lemon juice, and I just woke up, and I can't. stop. thinking. about it.

Are you suffering from some sort of lack of iron or protein?

Re: deficiency
...perhaps, you know. But I found some cottage cheese in my refrigerator. I'll have to dig up some meal bars.

Are we talking thinly sliced carpaccio? Or minced tartar?

Carpaccio, sir. named after Vittore Carpaccio for his heavy-handed use of shades of red. it's raw-tastic!

Look at you knowing your culinary trivia...

And, yes, carpaccio is all kinds of goodness. It makes my Northern Italian blood stir.

In an 'oh, hurl' way, or a 'wouldn't mind doing that again!' way?

Oddly enough, my raw steak thoughts are all lustful.

Possibly it was the full moon last night. I find myself also craving havoc and the blood of children. :]

But, no, it's called carpaccio and it's served in crazy-thin slices, so it's not like, you know. A raw ribeye.
although, mm. ribeye.

Like, Italian sushi? Or, actually, Italian ceviche. 'cause that's marinated in lemon juice. But, you get seafood, not meat<\i>.

Oddly enough the Italians have sushi that's actual sushi, especially in Milan. which is inland, so why it's special in Milan, I don't know. Carpaccio is the gorgeous dish pictured here, although mine was covered in wisps of shredded cheese rather than... hollandaise sauce? Cream frosting? I don't know what that is.

Mmm. That looks better than the raw-meat images I was getting. And those crisp things! I had some in TO. I prefer Chex, though, if I have to have cross-hatched food.

A. was blissfully happy, alone in the enormous hotel room, reading in the twilight, listening to the music and the sound of the sea, with a glass of something to drink on the bedside table-- I could feel her bliss
